Several people were arrested during protests in Arizona on Wednesday night over a woman facing deportation.

The case has been viewed as a consequence of President Donald Trump’s recent expansion of immigration laws.

Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos, an undocumented immigrant, was visiting a local Immigration Customs and Enforcement office in Phoenix for a yearly review on Wednesday. The meetings stemmed from a 2009 criminal case in which Rayos was convicted of using a phony Social Security number for employment, The New York Times reported.

A judge had ordered her deportation in 2013, but she was allowed to stay in the US because the Obama administration generally limited deportations to undocumented immigrants who committed serious crimes or had ties to criminal organisations, The Times’ Fernanda Santos wrote.

During Rayos’ meeting on Wednesday, officers arrested her and prepared her for deportation.

Rayos is a married mother of two. She has been in the US for more than 20 years, several local media outlets reported.

“Ms. Garcia de Rayos is currently being detained by ICE based on a removal order issued by the Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review which became final in May 2013,” the agency said in a statement cited by the Los Angeles Times.

Protesters surrounded a van carrying Rayos and other immigration detainees on Wednesday night.
